Well, here it is, an E46 M3 in the 10's in the United States. To note, an E46 in Sweden did run 10.71 but that was not a strip with NHRA approved timing equipment. Regardless, this is the first true 10 second M3 in the USA with a 10.89@141. Tuning was handled by ProEFI and the hardware was built by Saad Racing. This breaks the record HPF held but we expect this record to be retaken by HPF shortly. Of note, this is a full interior street car.

The car HAD E.T. Streets on it, and were ready to go to the track, however, I was worried about breaking the driveshaft, so I opted out and put the M/T E.T. Street 2's on the car (left the front runners on). If you don't think the M/T E.T. Street 2 is a street tire...your wrong...I drove to california on a set, with zero concerne, and zero issues. It's a street tire...PERIOD...it's not a hoosier...it's a STREET tire.

They are a drag radial. DOT approved is technically a street tire but this is a compound designed FOR THE DRAGSTRIP. Nobody ever gets street tires and drag radials confused when they are both mentioned. Why would you run a drag radial if a street tire was good enough?

You left it ambiguous on purpose but glad we were correct. You should mention drag radials when they are used or else it is misleading.
